Your blood is foul and tainted, harbouring the curse of an inner beast. Whilst you are able to control your transformations, the more of the moon you can see, the more difficult it is to do so, and the more animalistic traits you show. Under a full moon, you lose all control of your inner beast and are forced to transform.

You gain the ability to transform into a were-beast at will, but your cursed blood has left you with little in life. You have few - if any - allies and little-to-no possessions. People have a natural distrust of you they often cannot place, but if they were to ever discover your secret, you would not be welcomed.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Animal Handling, Nature, Intimidation, or Survival
Equipment:  An explorer’s pack, a set of common clothes, a silvered dagger, and a pouch containing 5gGP.
 
Inner Beast

The beast within you is powerful and deadly. You can feel it gnawing at the back of your mind. But there are many were-beasts of different shapes and sizes. Choose your were-beast, or roll on the Inner Beast table.

d6 Inner Beast
1 Werebear | Strength = 19, AC +1 in Bear or Hybrid Form
2 Wereboar | Strength = 17, AC +1 in Boar or Hybrid Form
3 Wererat | Dexterity = 15
4 Weretiger | Strength = 17
5 Werewolf | Strength = 15, AC +1 in Wolf or Hybrid Form
6 Any
 
Feature: Tainted Blood

 

Your beast is determined by the Inner Beast table.

You can use your action to polymorph into a large beast-humanoid hybrid, a large beast, or back into your true, humanoid form. Your statistics, other than size and AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying isn't transformed. You revert to your true form if you die.

You gain access to all actions noted for your Were-beast (Bar specific weapon attacks). See the appropriate tables for this information.

This can only be used once per short rest.

 
Suggested Characteristics

You have learned to live with the terror that haunts you. You are a survivor, who can be very protective of those who bring light into your darkened life.
